Work with me · for you

A PORTFOLIO YOU ACTUALLY RUN.

(no group, no waitlist — just us, six months)

Six months of one-on-one coaching to take you from a pile of things you're good at to a portfolio you run on purpose. Real method — product-management frameworks pointed at your actual life — not vibes.

Is this the right fit

Two lists, so you don't have to guess.

This is for you if

You're ready for a dedicated space

  • You've done the group work already, or you just know yourself well enough to know you need a room that's entirely yours, not a shared one.
  • Your situation has moving parts a group can't get into — a business plus a job, a career pivot mid-portfolio, a partner and a mortgage attached to the decision.
  • You're not still deciding whether you're ready. You're ready, and you want support that matches that.
This is not for you if

Any of these sound familiar

  • You're still figuring out if you even want to do this work. (Start with the group cohort — join the waitlist below.)
  • You want someone to make the decisions for you. That's consulting, not coaching.
  • You're after a system for stacking passive income streams. Wrong shop.
How the six months go

We don't rush to the answer. We build toward it.

(this is an example. We build on what makes sense for you.)
1

MONTHS 1–2 · Inventory & thesis

Everything on the table, including the unpaid and the aspirational. What ties it together? What did you choose, and what just accumulated while you weren't looking?

2

MONTHS 3–4 · Allocation, capacity, risk

What's the primary position? What's each piece actually costing you? What breaks if one of them disappears tomorrow? This is also where the resistance shows up — we work through it, not around it.

3

MONTHS 5–6 · Build, rebalance, revise

Your portfolio on one page, your 90-day roadmap, and a first rebalance date on the calendar — so this becomes a practice, not a one-time cleanup.

What's included

Everything that keeps this from being a vibe check.

Questions people ask

What does 1:1 coaching with you involve?

Twenty-four weekly sessions over six months, 60 minutes each, on a consistent schedule. In month one we build your Portfolio Inventory, which is everything on your plate mapped against capability, energy, income and risk. By month six you have your portfolio on one page, a 90-day roadmap, and a date on the calendar for your first rebalance. Between sessions you can send me a voice memo or an email, Monday through Friday, and I answer within 48 business hours.

Are sessions in person or on video?

If you're local to Chicago, we can meet in person or on video, whichever works for you. Otherwise, we meet on video.

What does it cost?

$1,200 a month for six months, $7,200 total, paid monthly. I do need a signed coaching agreement before we start.

What happens on the free 30-minute call?

We talk through your situation and figure out together whether this is the right fit. No pitch. Worst case, you leave with clearer thoughts than you came in with.

Is this coaching or consulting?

Coaching. I point product management frameworks (discovery and framing, capacity planning, risk diversification, build-test-learn) at your life, but you make the decisions. If you want someone to make them for you, that's consulting, not coaching.

Should I do 1:1 or the group cohort?

The group is the better start if you're still figuring out whether you want to do this work. The Full Plate is weekly group coaching with 8 to 10 people, and the next one opens in January 2027 (the waitlist is on this page). 1:1 is for when you're ready and your situation has moving parts a group can't get into, like a business plus a job or a career pivot halfway through.

Let's find out if this is the right fit.

Thirty minutes, no pitch, a real conversation. Worst case, you leave with clearer thoughts than you came in with.
